The Blow formed as a side project of sorts for performing artist Khaela Maricich and sound artist Jona Bechtolt. With Khaela doing the vocals and melodies and Jona, the music programming, they created two albums full of dancey pop tunes. Jona left the group in 2007 to concentrate on his other project, another indie band called 'Yacht'. They released their songs through indie label K Records.
